I can just hear them now How could you let us down? But they don't know what I found Or see it from this way 'round Feeling it overtake All that I used to hate Worried 'bout every trait I tried but it's way too late All the signs I don't read Two sides of me can't agree When I breathe in too deep Going with what I always longed for Feel like a brand new person (But you make the same ol' mistakes) Well, I don't care, I'm in love (Stop before it's too late, I know...) Feel like a brand new person (But you make the same ol' mistakes) I finally know what it's like (You don't have what it takes) (Stop before it's too late) (I know there's too much at stake) Making the same mistakes (And I still don't know why it's happening) Stop while it's not too late (And I still don't know) Finally taking flight I know you don't think it's right I know that you think it's fake Maybe fake's what I like Point is I have the right Not thinking in black and white Thinking it's worth the fight Soon to be out of sight Knowing it all this time Going with what I always longed for Feel like a brand new person (But you make the same ol' mistakes) Well, I don't care, I'm in love (Stop before it's too late, I know...) Feel like a brand new person (But you make the same ol' mistakes) So how do I know that it's right? (You don't have what it takes) (Stop before it's too late) And I know that it's hard to digest But maybe your story ain't so different from the rest And I know it seems wrong to accept But you've got your demons and she's got her regrets And I know that it's hard to digest A realization is as good as a guess And I know it seems wrong to accept But you've got your demons and she's got her regrets But you've got your demons and she's got her regrets Feel like a brand new person So how will I know that it's right? In a new direction So how will I know I've gone too far? Stop thinking you're the only option, oh Feel like a brand new person I finally know what it's like Stop thinking you're the only option In a new direction So how will I know I've gone too far? Stop thinking you're the only option Feel like a brand new person And I don't know how to describe Stop thinking you're the only option Stop thinking you're the only option I finally know what it's like Stop thinking you're the only option Stop thinking you're the only option
